Thanks everyone! what about the durability factor? Are you saying since Formica is so cheap that it's just easy to replace each time a tenant moves? 

Wow Michael thanks so much for the response and details. I love this website and forum all because of people like you! Your pricing was right on as we can get the granite for around $30/per sq ft or around $1000 installed. Really appreciate the advice!

This is helpful. To Linda Liberatore how can I get more info on the management classes?

I'm a new investor and working on rehabbing 1 bedroom apartments in a 12 unit building. For the kitchens I'm able to salvage the cabinets thank goodness but not sure about upgrading to granite vs going with Formica. I would say these are B units in a B- or C+ area. I have 5 vacant units that I'm readying for rent. I'm going with vinyl flooring and ceramic tile which is coming out great but not sure if I should make the investment on granite for the kitchens. Any advice? Will it hold up well in a rental? My hope is this is a one time expense for at least a few years. What say you experts?

thanks Antonio

I purchased The Book on Managing Rental Properties and also Rental Property Investing. It references an excel document to help with tracking expenses but I don't see any excel files that came with the forms download. Am I missing something???
